once upon
a nursery rhyme
I was born
on the river of time
bouncing
splashing
over waves
with fantasies
and blue sky days
then came the sound of fear
as adulthood thundered near
some hopes were dashed
some survived
some dreams drown
while others died
river of time
river of time
we all come together
on the river of time
and so my life has floated on
through rapids wild
past silent songs
a new adventure every day
even as my hair turned grey
river of time
river of time
carry me home
oh river of time
